Book Synopsis Disputed Temple by : John Robert Barker
Download or read book Disputed Temple written by John Robert Barker and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Robert Barker uses rhetorical criticism of Haggai to tease out the probable attitudes and anxieties among the Yehudite community that saw rebuilding as both undesirable and unfeasible. While some in the community accepted the prophet‘s claim that YHWH wanted the temple built, others feared that adverse agricultural and economic conditions, as well as the lack of a royal builder, were clear signs that YHWH did not approve or authorize the effort. Haggai‘s counterarguments are combined with his vilification of opponents as unclean and non-Israelite.

This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume introduces new perspectives on taxation policies in the Roman Empire, the Galilee, and Egypt, with unique insights into the economic effects of imperial pacification on local and regional microlevel economies in the Galilee both before and after the First Jewish Revolt against Rome. Through examining tax documents and other ancient texts in detail, this book offers innovative perspectives on the mechanisms, ideological justifications, and politically hierarchizing functions of taxation and tribute, particularly in the Roman Empire. Moreover, leading archaeologists present important information about the economic effects of the First Jewish Revolt on local economies in the Galilee, based on findings from recent archaeological excavations. Taxation, Economy, and Revolt in Ancient Rome, Galilee, and Egypt is of interest to students and scholars in Classical, Biblical, and Jewish Studies, as well as economic history and Mediterranean archaeology.
Book Synopsis The Temple Administration and the Levites in Chronicles by : Yeong Seon Kim
Download or read book The Temple Administration and the Levites in Chronicles written by Yeong Seon Kim and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-07-21 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author explored sections on gatekeepers, treasures and tax collectors from the book of Chronicles in order to examine whether the selected passages can be used as a source to reconstruct the temple administration in the post-exilic period. The author concludes that the Chronicler’s description of the temple administration, especially his incorporation of non-priestly cultic personnel among the Levites, must be considered to comprise an argument of an ideal temple administration. The Chronicler’s ideal was grounded in his creative exegetical approaches to Pentateuchal traditions and his responses to the contemporary debate about the legitimate priesthood among different priestly circles.

Book Synopsis Taxes & Tithes, It's Your Money by : Willie F. Peterson
Download or read book Taxes & Tithes, It's Your Money written by Willie F. Peterson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There''s a quotation that says; "there are two things for certain in life and they are death and taxes.''* This book addresses for faith and community organizations both of them, the death of their organization if their not compliant with the laws that govern non-profit organizations and if they are interested, how they may qualify for government and foundation funds. This resource guide is written to train and educate congregations about their role in the Faith-Based and Community Initiative. Note: this guide is not for everyone. There are many faith partners that believe receiving government funding is a curse. All I am saying here is if you desire or are already seeking; funding you should be wise to the laws that govern you. It was the discussions with pastors who doubt the faith based initiative that lead me to write this guide. The premise is simple. Since individuals and congregations pay taxes, they are entitled to receive those funds through federal, state and local grants and put them back into the community in which they live.
Book Synopsis Land and Temple by : Benjamin D. Gordon
Download or read book Land and Temple written by Benjamin D. Gordon and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exploration of the Judean priesthood’s role in agricultural cultivation demonstrates that the institutional reach of Second Temple Judaism (516 BCE–70 CE) went far beyond the confines of its houses of worship, while exposing an unfamiliar aspect of sacred place-making in the ancient Jewish experience. Temples of the ancient world regularly held assets in land, often naming a patron deity as landowner and affording the land sanctity protections. Such arrangements can provide essential background to the Hebrew Bible’s assertion that God is the owner of the land of Israel. They can also shed light on references in early Jewish literature to the sacred landholdings of the priesthood or the temple.

Book Synopsis The Sermon on the Mount in the Light of the Temple by : Professor John W Welch
Download or read book The Sermon on the Mount in the Light of the Temple written by Professor John W Welch and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No religious text has influenced the world more than has the New Testament's Sermon on the Mount, and yet this crucial text still begs to be more clearly understood. Why was it written? What unifying theme or purpose holds it all together? Should it be called a sermon? Or is it some other kind of composition? How would its earliest listeners have heard its encoded allusions and systematic program? This book offers new insights into the Sermon on the Mount by seeing it in the shadow of the all-pervasive Temple in Jerusalem, which dominated the religious landscape of the world of Jesus and his earliest disciples. Analyzing Matthew 5-7 in light of biblical and Jewish backgrounds, ritual studies, and oral performances in early Christian worship, this reading coherently integrates every line in the Sermon. It positions the Sermon as the premier Christian mystery.

Book Synopsis Should the Church Teach Tithing? by : Russell Earl Kelly
Download or read book Should the Church Teach Tithing? written by Russell Earl Kelly and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-01-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following a thorough examination of every biblical text on tithing, Dr. Kelly concludes that the church would be best served spiritually by believing and applying better New Testament principles of giving. After discussing sound biblical reasons for Christians to replace tithing, he presents God's better principles of grace. Doctrines such as the New Testament concept of law and covenant and the priesthood of believers are presented as they affect tithing. Following several chapters which discuss disputed texts relating to pastoral support, this book traces the early development of church support as found in the Church Fathers before Nicea. This book leaves no question or objection about tithing unanswered. It is a "must read" for any serious Bible student. There is a wealth of other doctrinal insights to be gained as one goes through the Bible in search of the truth about tithing.
Book Synopsis Exile and Return by : Jonathan Stökl
Download or read book Exile and Return written by Jonathan Stökl and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books of the Hebrew Bible were either composed in some form or edited during the Exilic and post-Exilic periods among a community that was to identify itself as returning from Babylonian captivity. At the same time, a dearth of contemporary written evidence from Judah/Yehud and its environs renders any particular understanding of the process within its social, cultural and political context virtually impossible. This has led some to label the period a dark age or black box – as obscure as it is essential for understanding the history of Judaism. In recent years, however, archaeologists and historians have stepped up their effort to look for and study material remains from the period and integrate the local history of Yehud, the return from Exile, and the restoration of Jerusalem’s temple more firmly within the regional, and indeed global, developments of the time. At the same time, Assyriologists have also been introducing a wide range of cuneiform material that illuminates the economy, literary traditions, practices of literacy and the ideologies of the Babylonian host society – factors that affected those taken into Exile in variable, changing and multiple ways. This volume of essays seeks to exploit these various advances.

Among the many crucial questions he addresses are: What are the sources for this period and how do we evaluate them? And how do we make them 'speak' to us through the fog of centuries? This first volume, Yehud: A History of the Persian Province of Judah offers the most up to date and comprehensive examination of the political and administrative structures; the society and economy; the religion, temple and cult; the developments in thought and literature; and the major political events of Judah at the time.
